What caused the intellectual disability

Patient's question:

Our child also has difficulty concentrating and is developmentally delayed, with low intelligence. What could be the cause of the low intelligence?

Doctor's answer:

There are many reasons and diseases that can lead to fetal intellectual disability, such as hypothyroidism, Down syndrome, and the baby choking during labor. Therefore, it is important to undergo screening tests like the Down syndrome screening and other anomaly tests during the fourth month of pregnancy. The baby should be tested for congenital hypothyroidism shortly after birth. If there is severe choking during labor, early intervention measures should be taken. In addition to medication for intellectual disability, patients also need to pay attention to care aspects, such as maintaining a light diet and engaging in more outdoor activities. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a regular hospital for treatment to achieve good therapeutic effects.
